PDP Accuses APC Of Plan To Alter Election Result

The All Progressives Congress has been warned by the People Democratic Party to stop its alleged plan to impeach Ayodele Fayose, Ekiti State Governor or attract consequences.

PDP further stated that the impeachment plot which they said is arranged in connection with the police, would not be allowed in the state.

Mr. kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary of the party, said in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, that the PDP was aware that the alleged plot “is a desperate bid by the APC to rush into the Ekiti Government House to remove and tamper with documents and evidence confirming the rigging of the July 14 governorship election, ahead of the sitting of the election tribunal.”

Recall that Naija News reported that Independent National Electoral Commission declared Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of the governorship election in the state.

Fayemi, who was a former governor of the state, defeated Prof. Olusola Eleka of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Eleka, since the declaration has indicated his intention to take the result of the election before the tribunal.

Ologbondiyan, in his statement, alleged that having realised that there “is no way their daylight robbery at the poll can stand in the court, the APC is now employing all desperate means to subvert the course of Justice.

He added, “This explains why a detachment of the Police can be hurriedly deployed to besiege the Ekiti State Assembly Complex last night (Wednesday) without a formal request by the Speaker, the Clerk or the Sergeant-at-Arms, who is the chief security officer of the complex.

The PDP states that any resort to underhand measures to impeach Fayose, without the constitutionally required 2/3 of the members of the House, particularly at this time, when the lawmakers are currently on their annual recess, will surely be resisted by our members.

While accusing the APC of plotting crisis all over the nation and resorting to the use of harassment, intimidation and brute force against the people and our democratic institutions, Ologbondiyan warned that the alleged dispositions of APC and its Federal Government portend grave danger for our nation.

Now that the political and parliamentary establishment of the Ekiti House of Assembly has loudly declared that they do not require the services of the detachment of policemen, PDP charges the APC to immediately withdraw their armed agents from the premises of the House of Assembly,” he said.
